Best suited CHARSET for ARABIC DATA STORAGE ???

HI,
I need to design an Web based application (with database as Oracle 8.1.7 and on WINDOWS NT4.0 platform), that would handle ENGLISH as well as ARABIC (SAUDI ARABIA) data. So i need to store data in both languages.
Which is the best suited CHARSET that you would suggest me to use?
- UTF-8 format.
- AR8ISO8859P6.
I have tried using AR8ISO8859P6 setting , but when i try save data from any front end , it stores junk data "??????". i even tried created table withNVARCHAR2 field type.
also i have tried out UTF-8 format ,it works fine for me, but still i need to know why the "AR8ISO8859P6" format CHARSET does'nt work fine for me .
pasted below is my NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS display.
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters;
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
NLS_CHARACTERSET AR8ISO8859P6
NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_SORT BINARY
NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM

NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AR8ISO8859P6

  • Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage?

    Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage?  I want an iPad mini, but don't want to get a large one (memorywise) along with cellular capability.  I remember that the old iPads coiuld not communicate via their iPhone connector to transfer data.  So can I do that iwth the newest iPad mini via the lightning connector somehow?  Thanks, Tom

    No. But you can with Seagate's wireless GoDrive.

  • Oracle Provider for Arabic Data

    hi,
    i was using "OraOLEDB.Oracle" provider with VB 6.0 for my oracle application uptill now. This provider worked fine untill i wanted to work with arabic data. I have my oracle code page set to arabic with NLS_Lang = Arabic_Kuwait.AR8MSWIN1256
    Thus i can enter and retrive arabic data from the SQL interface, but if i try to enter arabic data thro VB, i get junk data.
    Pls help.
    Thankx in advance.
    Vinod

    Vinod ,
    Try setting the following custom command property for the provider.
    myCommand.Properties("NDatatype") = True.
    Also set the font of the text field in which you are taking the input
    to Tahoma or some font supporting unicode.

  • Building a Oracle 10g db from the scratch for arabic data

    I want to create a new db in Oracle 10g for storing the arabic data.
    My client machine is Arabic Windows XP.
    What are the steps that i will need to follow to make the db arabic supported.
    What streps will be required if i choose to make it unicode supported?

    Configuring the database character set to AL32UTF8 will allow the database to store any character that can be represented in the UTF-8 character set in a CHAR/ VARCHAR2 column. So that would allow you to store Arabic data in CHAR/ VARCHAR2 columns.
    The client-side configuration that is necessary will depend on the sorts of client applications you are using. Normally, you would set the NLS_LANG to match the client code page, which is presumably one of the Windows code pages (probably Windows 1256 if you're using an Arabic install).

  • Concepts for reliable data storage

    Hi all.
    Suppose an application like network stream data recorder/player with cyclic replacement of old data with new one.
    Which minimal concepts must be used for prevent data lost? Is transactions mechanism enough?
    How to minimize a risk of damage entire database files when power-fail occures (or another event entail unexpected program crash).
    Thank in advance.

    I did. Opened file manager and chose the network drive. The capsule asks for id and password. After I enter it gives me access. It's empty. I clicked on properties and it tells me I've stored 20.7 G on there. I went to another computer with same results.  I had been running fine off this capsule for several months.

  • Looking for best design approach for moving data from one db to another.

    We have a very simple requirement to keep 2 tables synched up that live in 2 different databases. There can be up to 20K rows of data we need to synch up (nightly).
    The current design:
    BPEL process queries Source DB, puts results into memory and inserts into Target DB. Out of memory exception occurs. (no surprise).
    I am proposing a design change to get the data in 1000 row chunks, something like this:
    1. Get next 1000 records from Source DB. (managed through query)
    2. Put into memory (OR save to file).
    3. Read from memory (OR from a file).
    4. Save into Target DB.
    Question is:
    1 Is this a good approach and if so, does SOA have any built in mechanisms to handle this? I would think so since I believe this is a common problem - we don't want to reinvent the wheel.
    2. Is it better to put records into memory or writing to a file before inserting into the Target DB?
    The implementation team told me this would have to be done with Java code, but I would think this would be out of the box functionality. Is that correct?
    I am a SOA newby, so please let me know if there is a better approach.
    Thank you very much for your valued input.

    Hi,
    After going through your question, the first thing that came to my mind is what would be the size of the 20K records.
    If this is going to be huge then even the 1000 row logic might take significant time to do the transfer. And I think even writing it to a file will not be efficient enough.
    If the size is not huge then probably your solution might work. But I think you will need to decide on the chunk size based on how well your BPEL process will work. Possible you can try different size and test the performance to arrive at an optimal value.
    But in case the size is going to be huge, then you might want to consider using ETL implementations. Oracle ODI does provide such features out of the box with high performance.
    On the other hand, implementing the logic using the DBAdapter should be more efficient than java code.
    Hope this helps. Please do share your thoughts/suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    kindly guide where i m wrong.
    THanks in Advs

    Where your database server is located does not matter, AIX or Windows or other os.
    And AL32UTF8 would mean a Unicode database which means it may be used to store basically any language characters.
    You need to look into client side locale settings, if e.g. windows pcs are setup properly or putty terminal configuration is correct.
    Please download and use Oracle SQL Developer, as it is Unicode "aware" and can be used to verify character data.
    In a Windows console window (cmd prompt), you need to take care of oem code page and matching char set part of NLS_LANG to indicate what's in use.

  • Best suited machine for FCP (iMac or MacBook Pro)

    Hello,
    I'm planning to replace my "old Maggi"... what!? I'm the only one around here who name his computer? (^_^)... anyway, as I was saying, I'm planning to replace my old G5 desktop dual 2.0Ghz for a new machine.
    I would love to put my hands on a brand new Mac Pro but the price is too much for my current budget so I was thinking in a more "wallet friendly" option.
    I need a machine powerful enough so it can handle pretty intensive work with *Final Cut Pro* and 3D (mainly Blender but also a bit of Cinema 4D). This is where I need some advice.
    As I said before, I cannot afford a Mac Pro, so I was thinking that my best option relies between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
    Portability is not an issue, I'm more concern about "raw power". Of course I can get an idea just by reading each machine's specs, but there must be "small details" that make the difference. Plus a quote of "users' experience" that I would like to hear so I can make a "well informed purchase".
    I'll really appreciate any advice.
    P.S. That's right, MAGI... as in NEON GENESIS EVANGELION... I know, I'm a nerd, ha ha ha.

    if you are not terribly risk adverse ...
    Implied in this statement - this process voids the Apple warranty and any free support for hardware issues at an Apple store.
    I really don't care if the hacking company will stand behind the mod, it means sending the machine back to deal with it and they will not deal with ANY other issues that are unrelated to their mod - eg, if the screen dies in the first year, you are toast.
    Doing the mod on a 3 year old machine makes sense as there is no warrenty at that time. Doing it on a brand new machine makes absolutely no sense - particularly as there are other options out there.

  • [iPhone] what is the best practice for storing data? SQLite or Keychain ?

    Can't find clear guideline about when and what should I store in Keychain and when to use files, SQLite.
    I need to save large array of data that is configuration of application.
    This configuration should not disappear in event of application upgrade or reinstall. It should be stored in Keychain, right?

    Only use the keychain if you need the added security. Even then it is not meant for large data storage. SQLite allows fast and efficient retrieval of subsets of the data and allows selection with the SQL language. Plists are handy but the entire data must be read in to access any portion so if the amount of data is small this is ideal.
